I'd have it as follows, don't care about how young some are:

Luka
Parker (as SG need, little stretch)
Giannis
Dirk
Jokic

Leaving Pau off is tough given the length of his career and accolades, though one could argue having Kobe help with championships can be moot here. Jokic is dominant for the position, not complimentary. No signs of slowing down and to me, a tougher era to win a championship.
